George Clooney

The 47-year-old Ocean’s Eleven actor appeared on CNN’s Larry King Live last night and told the gravel-voiced talk-show host that he met with President Barack Obama on Monday morning to discuss the troubles in the war-torn region of Darfur.

A very hairy George Clooney was spotted displaying his athletic prowess during a game of basketball on the set of the new movie “Men Who Stare at Goats” in New Mexico on Wednesday (November 19).

Showing off his skills, the former “ER” hunk played some pick-up ball with the crew during a break from filming, which is taking place at the New Mexico Military institute in Roswell.

Fresh from the Venice Film Festival, George Clooney will appear Tuesday evening at a Barack Obama fundraiser in Geneva.

According to reports from Swiss news agency ATS, the Burn After Reading star and longtime Obama supporter hopes to increase Democratic coffers by nearly $1 million at the event, held for U.S. citizens living overseas. Continue

Despite their breakup in May, Sarah Larson remains on good terms with George Clooney.

“George is a great guy, a wonderful person,” the former Fear Factor winner tells Britain’s Hello! magazine in what is billed as her first interview since she and the star split.

“I don’t regret spending time with him,” says Larson. “We still remain friends and have kept in touch. In fact, we spoke over the phone a couple of days ago.”

As for what she’s taken away from the one-year relationship, Larson says, “Most people know George has a great sense of humor and is an adept storyteller. But I will always love his extraordinary dance moves.”

Not that this meant – despite early speculation – that the two were destined to waltz down the aisle. “We were never engaged,” she says.

And as for her current relationship status, though single, Larson says, “I have two men in my life right now. They’re very dark and have lots of hair and weigh 15 lbs.”

That would be her two cats, Lippy and Animal.
